What is it about boys and dirt??

Eric splashing down on the zip lineLast weekend was absolutely beautiful here, so we packed up and decided to take Lucas on his first camping trip. (Erica is an old pro at camping already and a self-proclaimed camping expert!) We had our Tahoe so loaded down that we had to borrow one of those little platforms that attaches to the trailer hitch just to haul all our stuff there. We would have had more room, but Harley and Parker were taking up most of the storage room in the car. We drove to a primitive campground just outside of Anniston called Pine Glen. It is situated on the Pinhoti Trail near a stream and it proved to be a great place to stay. We played in the dirt and in the icy cold stream. We roasted marshmallows and cooked over an open fire. It got a little cool that night, but the four of us just snuggled closer together and kept each other warm
After breakfast Sunday morning we decided we were ready to head back to civilization. Really what that means is that Eric was itching to go fishing at Camp Lee in Anniston where his brother works. We had a blast all afternoon at the lake and by the end of the day I managed to convince Eric and Matt to go down the zip line so that I could try out my camera on action shots. It was so fun to watch, next time I will absolutely have to bring clothes to go down it in!
We had such a great time in the woods with no phone service and no television that we can hardly wait to go again. So far the forecast for this weekend looks pretty nice too . . .
